Globewriter comments on a Senate debate about a clause of the Children's Bill “involving a clause that includes buggery”; B.C. Pires adds: “The People’s Partnership of UNC [United National Congress] MPs [Ministers of Parliament] yesterday refused, despite urgings from Independent senators, to decriminalize same gender sexual activity between minors - even while ploughing ahead with decriminalizing the same activity between boys and girls. If ever there were a plain human rights issue, sexual orientation is it.”

hi, i had the chance to spend two weeks in SVG and was sad to see that there was no rain. I was so sad to see the hill-side and gardens dry. I was glad to see that they shut the water off in certain areas to conserve. I had to be home my 9AM to take a shower, but it was worth it in order save water. I did still see people wasting water. Washing vehicles with open hoses and I also saw some people just leaving the water running in the home for way too much time. I hope that SVG gets some rain very soon!!!!
